Dyes

A dye is a colored substance that has an affinity to the substrate to which it is being applied. They absorb only some wavelengths of visible light and impart colour to the product. We manufacturer the following dyes:

Acid dyes are dyes which are salts of a sulfuric, carboxylic or phenolic organic acid. These salts are often sodium salts and are usually highly soluble in water. They possess affinity for amphoteric fibers while lacking direct dyes' affinity for cellulose fibers. They are used in dying wool, angora, cashmere and silk.


They also find many applications in leather industry and are widely used in colouring of hyde in tanneries. We manufacture various acid dyes for a wide range of uses such as leather tanning, inks and dyeing. We are happy to offer you customised qualities at your specifications. Please Contact Us for any inquiries.

  • 1. Metanil Yellow (CI Acid Yellow 36)
  • 2. Acid Orange II (CI Acid Orange 7)
  • 3. Acid Black 10B (CI Acid Black 1)
  • 4. Black NT (CI Acid Black 210)
  • 5. Nigrosine Water Soluble (CI Acid Black 2)
  • 6. Black NB (CI Acid Black 234)
  • 7. Leather Black

Basic dye is a stain that is cationic (positively charged) and so will react with material that is anionic (negatively charged). Their color base is not water soluble but can be made so by converting the base into a salt. The basic dyes, while possessing great tinctorial strength and brightness, are not generally light-fast. These are mainly applied to acrylic fibers, but find some use for wool and silk.


We offer a large range of basic dyes:

  • 1. Methylene Blue Zinc Salt (CI Basic Blue 9)
  • 2. Methylene Blue Zinc Free (Methylonium Chloride)
  • 3. Methyl Violet (CI Basic Violet 1)
  • 4. Rhodamine B (CI Basic Violet 10)
  • 5. Bismark Brown G (CI Basic Brown 1)
  • 6. Auramine (CI Basic Yellow 2)
  • 7. Malachite Green (CI Basic Green 4)

Direct dye, also called Substantive Dye, any of a class of coloured, water-soluble compounds that have an affinity for fibre and are taken up directly, such as the benzidine derivatives. Direct dyes are usually cheap and easily applied, and they can yield bright colours.


We manufacture the following Direct Dyes:

  • 1. Direct Black ER
  • 2. Direct Black BT
  • 3. Direct Bordeaux BW
  • 4. Direct Red
  • 5. Brown MR

Our Solvent dyes are highly soluble in most organic solvents. Solvent dyes are however not soluble in water. We manufacture solvent dyes which are solvent free and have very low impurities and can be used in various applications such as foil printing, printing inks, marking pens, ball point pens, candles and other waxes, polishes, leathers, wood stains, acrylic resins, varnishes and shellacs.


Solvent dyes manufactured by us can withstand high temperatures and are ideal for extrusion and injection molding processes. As a result they are used to impart color on many solid materials such as nylon, polyester, acetates, PVC, acrylics, PMMA, polystyrene, PETP and styrene monomers. Nigrosine Base manufactured by us is highly regarded and used by many customers for coloring Polyamide (Nylon) and is especially popular for coloring of PU soles.

  • 1. Nigrosine SS (CI Solvent Black 5)
  • 2. Nigrosine Base (CI Solvent Black 7)
  • 3. Solvent Orange G
  • 4. Solvent Yellow 2
  • 5. Sudan IV (CI Solvent Red 24)

Liquid dye products are convenient forms for delivery of color into your application.  They eliminate dye dusting or clouding during the processing of your products, as well as being easier and typically safer to work with. 


Some of the liquid dyes that we manufacture are:

  • 1. Liquid Green
  • 2. Liquid Yellow
  • 3. Liquid Violet
